MARKET

Having emerged in the mid-1970s when the focus was on big, expensive mainframe technology, Lawson differentiated itself by focusing on packaged software for small to midsized businesses. The company continues to do so today, offering reliable on-premise, hosted, and cloud-deployable ERP solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Though known as an ERP vendor, in recent years the company has focused on tailoring solutions for specific vertical markets beyond the more general Lawson ERP solution. With regard to warehouse management, Lawson has targeted the fashion and food & beverage industries.

Features

The following are the primary features of Lawson M3 Supply Chain Execution:

The added strength of M3 Supply Chain Execution comes from its integration with M3 Procurement, M3 Supply Chain Planning, and the other modules in the system. M3 Supply Chain Planning, for instance, uses forecasting measures to prevent unnecessary capital expenditures on wasted inventory. This information is passed on to the Supply Chain Execution module, allowing warehouse managers to adjust their inventory and storage space according to estimated demand.
